Have you ever noticed the phenomena where once you've been
introduced to something for the first time, it seems to pop
up all over the place? I seen Perelman's name yesterday when
I was looking for information on Graham Greene. And today I
find out he married Nathanael West's sister.
The same thing happened to me miker. I was interested to find
out that West and his wife were killed in a car wreck
(apparently just after he learned of friend F. Scott
Fitzgerald's death in an accident). The web site I read this
info on implied that West was distraught by the news and ran
a stop sign - possibly due to his emotional state.
Here is the quote:
<<<<<<By a bizarre coincidence, Fitzgerald
and West died on the same weekend in December, 1940. West was
killed in an automobile accident on December 22, near El
Centro, California, with his wife Eileen McKenney. West was
recently married, with a better-paid script work coming in,
and returning from a trip Mexico. Distraught over hearing of
his friend's Fitzgerald's death, he crashed his car after
ignoring a stop sign.>>>>>>>>
